PWHL San Jose’s Corinne Schroeder injured at Canada National Team camp
Some concerning news is coming out of Canada’s National Women’s Team training camp.
When speaking to the media in Quebec City, Canada head coach Kori Cheverie revealed that goaltender Corinne Schroeder suffered an off-ice injury during warmups prior to the team’s scrimmage on Wednesday night.
Cheverie added that forward Julia Gosling and her cousin, defender Nicole Gosling, weren’t medically cleared to participate in any of the games this week, as both are dealing with injuries.
While Cheverie didn’t give specifics about any of the ailments, The Hockey News’ Pat Laprade saw Schroeder exit the arena in a wheelchair, with a walking boot on her right foot.
While Schroeder was a longshot to make Canada’s roster for the 2026 IIHF Women’s World Championship, as that battle seems to be between Eve Gascon and Kayle Osborne, a potentially long-term injury for the veteran backstop could spell trouble for the expansion PWHL San Jose.
The 27-year-old was the franchise’s first-ever signing in June, agreeing to a two-year contract to move to the Bay Area. She is projected to be Troy Ryan’s No. 1 goaltender this year, a role she has held most of her professional career. She entered the PWHL after standing out as the top goaltender in the final year of the Premier Hockey Federation, and as a standout on a struggling New York Sirens team in its first two years. The Elm Creek, Man. native was picked up by the Seattle Torrent during last year’s expansion process, but floundered on a team that registered the most losses in league history.
In 2025-26, Schroeder went 5-8-1-3 in 17 games, posting a 2.56 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage. In 52 career games in the PWHL, she is 22-23-2-5, with a 2.46 GAA, a .921 SV% and four shutouts.
The Women’s Worlds are set to begin on Nov. 6 in Herning, Denmark, with Canada looking to avenge recent disappointment at the 2025 tournament and the Winter Olympics this past February. They’ll be in the restructured Group B, taking on Sweden, Japan, Finland and host Denmark in the opening round.
